New Product Idea – Texture/Overlay

Hello!!! I used Heather’s large textures for this senior storyboard. They are great to work with for two reason 1- they are large so you won’t have to resize them too much and 2- they are masculine which is perfect for my “guy” storyboards!

Julie Ranee Spotlight

Tell us your name: Julie Ranee
Where do you live? Plain City, OH
Your site or blog address: julieraneephotography.com
Describe your photography subject focus
I primarily shoot families, but have weddings, seniors and newborns occassionally.
How would you describe your photography style?
Casual, fun, natural
What do you shoot with?
Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 35mm f 1.4L, Canon 85mm f 1.2L II
Your favorite camera equipment…
Canon 5D Mark II. It’s iso capability is incredible! Love it!
If you could only use one lens what would it be?
This is such a tough call as I like both my 35mm and my 85mm for different reasons. I probably prefer the 35mm because I like wide, but the 85mm has such incredible bokeh and does not distort close up like the 35mm. I went on vacation recently and shot everything with my 35mm.
Does your camera have a name?
No. Definitely something to keep in mind though.
How do you stay motivated?
I look at websites and magazines, check out books from the library about famous photographers, and take images of my kids when they are involved in a fun activity (photographer’s child syndrome can get ugly).
How long have you been a photographer?
I have officially been in business since October 2007, but did portfolio building for a year and a half prior to that.
If not a photographer, then….
I was a dietitian in my previous career. Not sure I’d go back to that, but I do find nutrition and raw food very interesting.
Your go-to camera shop?
www.calumetphoto.com
What makes your job easy?
Families that can relax and be themselves. I love to capture natural family interactions.
Which album company do you recommend?
WHCC hinged albums are my first choice for quality and price. I have seen a beautiful Dream Album and am considering trying their product.
If you could choose anyone to do a photoshoot of you/your family, who would you choose?
Jinky or Tara Whitney
Favorite Pink Ink Studios product?
http://pinkinkstudios.com/store/product.php?productid=489&cat=56&page=1
Baby Book Frilly – Girl
I used this for an album of my daughter and her best friend. I didn’t use the teddy bear page because they are ages 7 and 8. The book is beautiful! Love the grungy texture to the page designs.
Best advice for new photographers breaking into the business?
Make sure you put images on your blog and website that showcase your style. Then make sure every client sees your blog and website before you book them. This will help you attract clients that like your style.
Magazine must have?
Mini Boden. I love all the light and action in their images! I get so excited when I get that little catalog in the mail.
What’s your guilty pleasure?
Chocolate cake with hot fudge . . . YUM.
My weakness is… spending too much time at the Beyond Photography Forum http://www.beyondjustimages.com/
My strength is… my relationship with Jesus.
What do you do when you first wake up? I make a green smoothie for our family . . . this goes back to the nutrition. I make smoothies out of fruit and then add spinach . . . lots of spinach (I promise, you cannot taste it!). My kids usually like them. They better because they have to drink them before they can have anything else. Hey, it’s good for them!
Finish this quote: When It rains… I get grumpy. Sometimes we go for days or a week without seeing the sun come out from behind the clouds.
Who Do You Love? My husband and kids.
Do you read your horoscope? No.
Blog addiction… Tara W., Jinky, etc., etc., etc. I check way too many blogs.
Tattoos… nope . . . too permanent. I change my mind too much.
MAC or PC… PC, but I’d love to switch.
80’s Music… PLEASE DON”T MAKE ME LISTEN TO IT. My husband likes it.
What’s on your iPod? Are you ready for this . . . I don’t have an iPod. I listen to the radio or cds in the car. The kids and I like Frances England. Today we were listening to Relient K’s Christmas album . . . a must have for the Christmas season (or June).
Morning or night? Night
My friends say… I have a bubbly personality and lots of determination.
Travel dreams… Australia & New Zealand
On my day off… I relax, play with the kids, watch movies with my husband.
One of your top 100 to do before you die? Build a tiny house http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/
